they're both very controlled debaters. it is a switch for romney. during the republican primary debates, he was really the front-runner and everyone was trying to tear him down. he was supposed to stand up to them. here he's coming in as the underdog. he needs to be on the attack. >> eliot: wanna if you needed to say to mitt romney, here is what you must accomplish tomorrow because you are down ten points in the swing states, you only have this one moment to capture the public's excitement and enthusiasm, how does he do it? >> first avoid the unforced error. time and time again the albatross of the romney campaign. they're making trouble for themselves where there doesn't need to be any. secondly, you have to keep president obama from getting under your skin. what you saw if you watched mitt romney closely in the debates guys like newt gingrich and rick santorum could really seem to get under his skin, get him a little agitated. you don't want to do that. you want to appear presidential next to a sitting president. he's hugely important tomorrow nig
